PREFACE OF THE TRANSLATOR. 



The author of the present work published, a few 
years ago, a book, the whole title of which I will 
here give in translation, because it indicates some of 
its important features. It is, " Latin Synonymies, 
upon the Basis of Gardin-Dumesnil's Synonymes La- 
tins, recast and augmented, by L. Ramshorn ; as a 
new Edition of the Universal Latin Synonymes of 
Ernesti." The names of Ernesti and Gardin-Dumes- 
nil, the latter of whom published the first edition of his 
Synonymes in 1777, are well known to all acquaint- 
ed with the modern history of philology. Upon the 
works of these two scholars, then, Dr. Ramshorn, a 
distinguished philologer and practical teacher in Ger- 
many, has built his own, adding from the rich treas- 
ures of the science of languages, so abundant in 
his country. Comparative philology and etymologic 
knowledge, now zealously and successfully cultivated 
in Germany, form a science which exhibits to us 
order, organic connexion, depth of meaning, and pro- 
gressive developement, where before disorder, dis- 
jointedness, caprice, or a barbarous want of perception 
seemed to exist, in so great and vast a sphere, embrac-

ing many tribes and generations, that the scholar who 
enters deeper and deeper into this comprehensive 
system, extending over Asia and Europe, ancient and 
modern, feels as we may imagine one to feel, who 
beholds the firmament for the first time after being 
informed, that all its glittering hosts move in order, 
and according to the wisest principles. Neither the 
present cultivation of this branch of philologic knowl- 
edge, nor that of any other, appertaining to the study 
of antiquity, has been without its due influence in 
the composition of the abovementioned work, which 
makes it, in my opinion, a production of singular 
merit. My friends agreed with me, that an abridg- 
ment, adapted to our schools and colleges, would sup- 
ply a want which has long been felt by those who 
instruct in Latin. So soon, therefore, as I became ac- 
quainted with the fact, that Dr. Ramshorn himself had 
prepared a " school edition" of his work, I resolved 
to translate it into English. I have done so, and feel 
convinced, provided I have performed my task with 
any degree of success, that few works can be offered 
to all who study or promote the study of antiquity, 
more welcome than this. Had I not felt convinced 
of this fact, I should not have undertaken it ; for 
translating is an irksome occupation, and I will 
frankly own, that, occupied as my mind was, at the 
same time, with labors far more congenial, I was 
once well nigh giving up my purpose. I remembered, 
however, what Cicero says of Brutus : " Quidquid 
vult, valde vult;" and resolved, in my limited sphere, 
not to remain behind the Roman. If, therefore, the 
reader is of a peculiarly charitable disposition, the

merit of patience is all I claim, or can possibly claim, 
at his hands. 

In a few instances, where it was impossible to 
express the precise shade of meaning, conveyed by 
the Latin term, by a corresponding English word, 
or even by a paraphrase, I have given a German or 
French word, if these languages furnished an exact 
counter-term ; but, as I have in no case done so with- 
out trying, to the best of my ability, to approach as 
near as possible to the sense of the Latin by English 
words, I hope I shall not be blamed by the critic. 
My own additions, chiefly relating to the English 
idiom, are so few, that, successful or not, they can- 
not be considered as in any degree affecting the 
merits of the work. Clearness, that is, the most ex- 
act expression of the peculiar shade of meaning of 
the Latin term, has been my chief aim : I have freely 
made use, therefore, of English terms, not frequently 
employed, of a colloquial character, or, in some cases, 
of a bold formation, or of sentences which cannot be 
considered as elegant, so that I obtained my main 
object, that is, the nearest possible approximation to 
the precise Latin meaning. 

That part at the beginning of this work, which 
treats of Latin Terminations, will be considered by 
many as containing now and then views too bold or 
fanciful. Still I did by no means feel authorized to 
omit it, partly on account of its own merit, which 
will be more available however for the teacher than 
the pupil ; partly because the author refers to it in 
the main body of the work. The Index, unfortu- 
nately wanting in many dictionaries of modern syn- 
onymes, will be found a very convenient addition. 



Vi PREFACE. 

Synonyme is a term which denotes various rela- 
tions between words. Some synonymes stand in the 
relation of genus and species to each other, so that 
the specific idea of the one is contained in the generic 
idea of the other. Of these Aristotle speaks in his 
Categories ; others are more accurate terms, furnished 
by advancing intercourse, science or art, or any other 
knowledge or skill, for expressions used less definitely 
in common life ; others designate notions related only 
to one another, or which have branched out from 
different roots, yet arrive at nearly the same point, 
carrying along with them, however, some modifica- 
tion of the idea, adhering to them from the original 
root ; others mean actually the same, yet differ in 
form ; which form still imparts a difference to them, 
in specific cases, under the hand of a skilful writer ; 
for instance, a difference of elegance. Annual and 
yearly mean exactly the same, I believe ; but a writer 
of nice feeling will prefer the one or the other, ac- 
cording to the circumstance, whether the general 
character of his writing makes the more positive 
Saxon, or the more technical Latin element in our 
idiom preferable at the time. So do the words besieg- 
ing and beleaguering mean exactly one and the same 
thing. Similarly related words are met with in Latin ; 
the one of old Latin stock, the other of later introduc- 
tion from the Greek. Some synonymes become such 
simply because exactly the same thing is designated 
in one part of a country by one term, in another by 
a different one. But there are few instances, indeed, 
in which a word has been adopted by the general 
language of the cultivated, and has not soon received,

or rather formed for itself, a peculiar shade of mean- 
ing of its own. Still it ought to be remembered, 
that there are actually words which differ simply as to 
form or sound, and by which the scholar is strangely 
misled, if he starts with the axiom, that there are 
no two words meaning exactly the same thing, in 
the same language, — an error, it seems, which may 
be perceived in far the greater number of works on 
synonymes. That there are equivalent words may 
be seen at once, if Ave remember, that some Latin 
words end both in is and us, without a shadow of 
difference in meaning. 

The reader will find, that the author has in several 
instances grouped together terms which denote ac- 
tions or things different in themselves, yet belong- 
ing to one another ; at other times, words which 
etymologically differ but little, and yet designate 
entirely different and frequently opposite things. I 
believe the scholar will thank him for what, in a 
work on synonymes of the author's vernacular tongue, 
would appear as a transgression of the strict limits, 
drawn by the term synonyme. 

As to the quotations I have only to remark, that 
in many cases in which the explanation given is 
entirely sufficient to show the exact force of the 
Latin, the quotation exhibits the same term in a 
slightly different or figurative meaning, and, secondly, 
that the name only of the author from whom the 
quotations are taken* has been cited, for the sake of 
brevity. The larger work mentioned at the begin- 
ning of this preface, contains the entire citations, so 
that the reader may rest assured, that the respective 
quotation is to be found in the author cited. 



Viii PREFACE. 

To my young readers, who will not fail to try 
their juvenile wit upon the author's peculiar name, 
I wish to remark, that there are no better means 
of making ourselves perfectly acquainted with a for- 
eign language, and acquiring a thorough knowledge 
of our own, than a careful study of those clusters of 
words by which a number of related ideas, a family 
of notions, is successfully expressed, in a foreign 
tongue, yet differently from the mode which our own 
idiom pursues ; in the same manner as there is no 
better way of discerning and thoroughly understand- 
ing our own advantages or deficiencies, individual 
or national, than by a candid comparison of ourselves 
with others, be this by travelling into other regions 
and nations of our own times, or into other ages 
by studying history.

LATIN TERMINATIONS. 



§ 1. A word receives a specific meaning by its termina- 
tion or terminal form ; and becomes, through it, a part of 
speech. This terminal form, the inflective part in nouns 
and verbs, is added to the last sound of the root either im- 
mediately, or mediately through a short connecting vowel ; 
i, more rarely w, e. g. car-o, urh-s; len-xter, serv-itus, doc- 
umentnm, also pi-etas ; or to the characteristic vowel of an- 
other form ; manus, manu-brium ; salus, salu-ber. 

§ 2. The root of a word consists generally of a short 
syllable, ending with a consonant ; of many Latin words, 
however, it is lost, if it has not been preserved in other 
ancient languages. That word in which it is preserved with 
the least addition, and in its original meaning, is called the 
primitivum or original word ; the other words derived from 
these are called derivata, if they are words formed by a 
change of form and not by entire composition. These de- 
rivata may be denominativa, pronominalia, numeralia, ver- 
balia, and adverbialia. The signification of the primitivum 
is the base of that of all derivations, but it is greatly modi- 
fied by the various forms. 

§ 3. The oldest nominal forms contain the personal pro- 
nouns ; the others the declensions : 

a. The third declension is the oldest on account of the 
generality of its forms ; for, through them, it designates 
only existence and its modifications, and contains most 
original words ; the monosyllabic almost exclusively. 

b. The first and second distinguish clearly subject and 
quality, person and thing, and the genera. 

c. The fourth declension designates permanent conditions, 
as such, and in some, inanimate objects, e. g. acus, arcus, 
cornu.

2 Substantive Forms. I. 

d. The fifth contains only denominations of essential prop- 
erties, hence only feminine nouns. This is also the 
reason why it had, at an early period, many words in 
common with the third and first declensions, as quies, 
quiei, quie ; pieties, plebei, and the long Ablative ter- 
minations fame, mole, tabe ; farther, materies and mate- 
ria, &c. 
§ 4. In the third declension there are, besides, the mono- 
syllabic radical words without form, as lac, soZ, ren, lar % 
cor, fur.

B. Adjective Forms. 

§ 5. An adjective denominates a quality as a mark pecu- 
liar to such objects as are distinguishable by the same from 
others. If the adjective is only applicable to quite a specific 
class of objects, or sufficient to designate the peculiar notion 
which expresses the object, without other aid, it may stand 
in the place of a substantive, and of this kind are all substan- 
tives of the first and second declension. The adjectives have 
either the adjective form proper, which indicate marks of 



Adjective Forms, IV. 5 

distinction taken from qualities, or participial forms, which 
indicate marks taken from conditions, modes of being. 
Those of the third declension have existence for their funda- 
mental notion. 

IV. S. 

1. s, designating simply the existence as quality, termin- 
ates the adjective of the third declension, either directly 
added to the original word, e. g. princeps, reses (seder e) 
prcepes (peter e), forward, in advance in the flight, or with 
is, as in lends. In the others r changes with s, as in veter, 
more commonly vetus ; or the termination is abbreviated, 
as in vigil, prcesul (prcz-esse, for prce-sulis, X, 1.), he who is 
in advance, at the head, the superintendent, or director, and 
thus consul, exsul ; oscen, tiblcen (canere). The denomina- 
tiva are likewise subject to this rule, e. g. illunis (luna), 
extorris (terra), rebellis (helium), exsomnis (somnus), and in 
bicolor, affinis, exspes, seminex, pernox, in which the adjec- 
tive signification is effected by mere composition. 

2. us, a, um, signifying properties, inasmuch as they are 
peculiar to objects, is the fundamental form of adjectives of 
the first and second declension ; thus verus, vivus (vivere), 
veridicus (dicere), naufragus (frangere), honorus (honos), 
honorable ; superus (super), being above, in an upper situ- 
ation ; nuperus (nuper) late, new ; furthermore, commodus, 
consonus, and, with changing form, inermis and inermus. 

With substantives designates 

a. us, objects of the male sex, according to their nature, 
and with prominent masculine qualities, e. g. gallus, nervus, 
ventus ; abbreviated is vir. 

b. a, objects of the female sex and distinguished by fem- 
inine qualities ; hence also abstracta : Vacca, lana, pluma ; 
via, cura. 

c. um, objects taken as things, and designations taken in 
general : Ovum, aurum, pomum, vadum (vadere), a ford. 
Sibilus sc. sonus, is the hissing sound ; sibilum, the hissing. 

*] With some specific denominations the gender of the 
notion of the genus is imagined, e. g. names of trees 
and plants, as alnus, cerdsus, fern. scil. arbor ; hyssbpus, 
papyrus, sc. herba; or the action, as with the verbalia 
of the third conjugation : scriba (scribere), masc. the 
scribe, indigena (indu — gignere), masc. and fern, the 
native ; and also from other reasons.

C. Forms of Verbs. 

§ 6. The verb expresses the state in which a thing is, in 
two fundamental forms. These are : 

1. o, the subjective and active form, which refers a state 
or condition to the ground of its origin, or makes that state 
proceed from the subject, which may also be taken in quite a 
general manner, as in luciscit, grandinat, it becomes light, it 
hails, and in the impersonal verbs poenitet, oportet. 

2. or, the objective or passive form, which refers a state 
or condition to the aim or object of its existence, or makes it 
directed toward a subject. 

a. in the passive, if the subject is passive, that is, object 
of some activity directed from without ; hence it is, that 
the verba transitiva, whose active voice requires for the 
indication of the object of their activity the Accusative 
case, adopt regularly this form. The subject is here 
taken as general in the impersonal forms itur, curritur, 
ventum est, licitum est, the French on vat, est venu, &c, 
the German man. 

b. in the deponens, if the subject is presented only as sub- 
ject of the condition, that is, as that in which the action 
proceeds, without reference whether it be ground or ob- 
ject of action ; mostly those verbs in which the impres- 
sion of the action on the senses of the observer was 
considered. To these belong such passiva as have 
adopted an active or reciprocal signification, as Icetor, I 
am rejoiced (by) that ; or which are taken as passiva 
in a certain respect only, as cachinnor, rideor, I laugh, 
inasmuch as I am shaken by the violent effect ; the verba 
mutuce actionis, as amplector, I embrace one, who at the 
same time embraces me ; osculor, I kiss ; altercor, I 
quarrel ; those with regard to which the impression on 
the observer predominates, as imitor, I am formed, i. e. 
I form myself after another; fistula ejaculatur aquas, 
for the Roman sees how the tube is discharged, while, 
for us, the tube itself discharges ; and thus the inchoa- 
tiva, nascor, I am born, i. e. now in the state of being 
born ; proficiscor, I am carried on, get along ; lastly, 
the verbs whose actions have reference to the person 
of the subject, his wishes, advantage, use, as nidulor, 
a nest is making for me, I am making a nest to my-

defensionem causce snce scripsit. Id. ; succendere, light-

the participle is added in imagination, e. g. miscere, mix-

one (properly, being a thinking one, the Latin and

mare, asserting, telling one's opinion : Autumo significat

in some verbs, the meaning to the preterite : Tendo, tetendi; 
tundo, tiitudi; parco, peperci; posco, poposci; in other 
verbs, it indicates a continuance of the state, with changing 
degree of intensity : Tinnire (tonus), sounding; titinnire^ 
tintinnire, tintinnare, sounding continually with changing 
oscillations; titubare (Teutonic root in tappen), reeling, stag- 
gering ; tUillare, tickling. 

2. The radical syllable as chief part, joined with the form 
of the word: Pupus (puer), the little one, the little boy; 
palpare (pala, see palma, XI, 3, *]), 967. 

3. Reduplication of the whole body of the word, redoubles 
likewise the whole force and meaning of the word, as many 
languages redouble whole words, e. g. in Italian, grande 
grande, very large ; in Spanish, mucho mucho, very indeed ; 
or as we say, quite quite little, for very little indeed : Si me 
amas, suscipe meme totum. Cic. Justitia propter sese co- 
lenda est. Id. Hence pronomina indefinita receive by redu 
plication an entirely general meaning, as quisquis, whoever 
it may be, whosoever, when the who does not refer to one in 
the multitude, but to one whoever that may be ; quanti quanti 
however dear, however high in price, value: Sed quanti 
quanti, oene emitur, quod necesse est. Cic; ubiubi, where- 
ever ; quoquo, whithersoever ; quaqua, wherever, on whatever 
side ; undeunde, whencesoever, if we discard the idea of 
nearer determination of magnitude, number, place. 

F. Pronominal Forms. 

§ 9. The pronoun of the third person, which distinguishes 
it from the person of the utterer and the addressed individual, 
is, in its fundamental form, Is, he, only indicating a subject; 
as demonstrate um, that; as relativum, when it refers the 
subject which it designates to an assertion made in the next 
preceding or next following part of the sentence, or entire 
sentence, it is Qui, who, and these two in reference to one 
another are called correlativa; the interrogative form QuisJ 
who ? asks for one as a mere subject among several ; the in- 
definite form Quis, one, some one, in the middle of a sen- 
tence, only mentions such a subject as one among many ; the 
general form Quisquis, whosoever, takes the " some one M in 
the most general sense, see § 8. The generic form, how- 
ever, which indicates one as belonging to a certain kind,

genus, class, with distinct qualities, gives the interrogativum 
Qui? which? what sort of a one? the indefinitum Qui, 
one, and the generate Quicunque, whosoever one may be. 
Quis deus ? asks for a god among the rest of the gods : Is it 
Jupiter, Mercury, or Apollo ? Qui deus ? asks for his char- 
acter: Is this the mighty, merciful, heavenly god? the god 
of the sun or the sea? Hence originate, for the pronomina- 
lia, which indicate magnitude, degree, number, property 

time, and place, the following series of forms :

§ 10. References to the person of the utterer are indicated 
by additions at the beginning of pronominal words ; references 
from him to something without, by terminations. 

XXIII. Additions at the beginning, and prefixed sylla- 
bles. 

1. JT, IV, D, T, C. By H, the utterer points at that 
which locally is nearer to him, in hie, this one, Mc, here, 
hue, hither, hinc, hence, in contradistinction to that which 
locally is farther removed, ille, that one, &c. By IV, in nunc 9 
nam, nempe, he points at that before him, in as far as it touches 
upon the preceding subject ; by D, in dum, he points at the 
subject before him as continuous series ; by T, in turn, at the 
sequel, inasmuch as it has the subject before him behind it ; 
by C, in cum, quum, at things belonging to one another. 

2. E, short, lays more stress upon the word with reference 
to the utterer in ego, as in enim; equidem; ecastor,equirine, 
edepol (e-epul), with inserted d, by Castor, by Quirinus, by 
Apollo, affirming. 



Pr.mominal Forms. XXIV. 41 

3. EC sharpens the question, demanding attention to the 
interrogative word, and giving greater force to it, in ecquis, 
ecqui? who? (when we pronounce it with a prolonged sound 
of oo, as if written whoo-oo?) ; ecquando, when? ecquo, 
whither? (all with a prolonged pronunciation in English), 
also in ecce, behold! Ecquis homo ad Hannihalem trans- 
fugit? that is, Has but one deserted to Hannibal? (one sin- 
gle one?); Ecquis his in cedibus est? in the affirmative 
sense : some-one must be there ; but if we ask with num quis, 
we have negation in our mind: Num quis vestrum ad c<z- 
dem accommodatus est? Nemo. Cic. 

4. AL, any, some. Aliquis, is not the one, Quis, in a 
multitude, imagined with certain marks of distinction, but one 
of them who has more or less of the imagined marks of dis- 
tinction of the multitude. Aliquantum, a magnitude, indefi- 
nite, whether it have the imagined measure or not; hence, a 
considerable, and a little. Orator, si quando opus erit, 
ab inferis testes excitabit. Cic, if perhaps, if some time, of a 
point of time, indefinite whether in the present time, the past, 
or the future ; Ampla domus dedecori domino scepe Jit, si est 
in ea solitudo ; et maxime, si aliquando alio domino solita 
est frequentari. Id., if some time or other, indicates that the 
" some time " may also happen at a period nearer or more 
remote than the imagined one. Alibi, aliunde, somewhere 
else, from somewhere else ; alicubi, alicunde, somewhere 
else, anywhere, from some place or other, from any place. 

XXIV. Affixes, Syllables attached to the End of Pro 
nominal Words. 

1. MET, self, lays additional stress on the personality 
expressed by the word, and is used only with the words ego, 
tu, nos, vos, sui, and suus : Proximus sum egomet mihi. 
Ter. Memet mei pcenitet. Cic. Tutemet mirabere. Ter., 
not tumet. Curius suamet ipse sceleranon occultabat. Sail., 
his own (his very own crimes). 

2. PSE (ye), self, referring back a subject of one of the 
three persons to its own ego, and is inflected in ipse (is-pse) : 
Sibimet ipsi viam ad honor es aperiunt. Liv., they them- 
selves (and no others), as active subject; Majorem tibi jidem 
habui, quam pene ipsi mihi. Cic, even to me, myself (and 
to no other person), as suffering object. 

PTE limits, in the Ablatives of meus, tuus, suus, noster, 

vester, the possession to the indicated person ; in utpote\ as, 

4*

namely, explanatory, it limits the cause to an effect under 
consideration : No strapte culpa, by our own guilt ; Atomi 
feruntur in locum inferior em suopte ponder e. Cic. Incom- 
moda valetudine jam emerseram, utpote quum sine febri la- 
borassem. Id. 

3. TE points at the second person only, partly in strength- 
ening the tu, partly with is designating the object which the 
addressed person is desired to remember ; hence it is inflected 
in this case: Ut tute mihi prcecepisti. Cic. You there. 
Nisi quid tibi in tete auxilii est, absumtus es. Plaut. Venio 
nunc ad is tins quemadmodum ipse appellat, studium ; ut 
amici ejus, morbum et insaniam. Cic, i. e. of Verres, of 
whom I am talking to you. Armorum ista et victoria, sunt 
facta, non Cczsaris. Id., that there, which you mean. 

4. CE (belongs to cis), with demonstratives, points at an 
object, the situation of which the utterer refers to where he 
stands : Pater te amat plus, quam ho see oculos. Ter. Thus in 
eccel and abbreviated in hie, here, near to the speaker; istic, 
there, near the addressed person ; illic, there, at a distance 
from the speaker ; in nunc, donee, for hice, numce, tumce, 
dumce ; interrogating in hiccine 7 this one there ? 

5. QUE lends distributive meaning to indefinita: Quisque, 
856. Usque (for cujus-que), 1039. Utique, in every way 
and manner, at all events: Faba Pythagorei utique absti- 
nuere. Cic. Si utique novum aliquem consulem creari vel- 
lent. Liv., at all events, if they needs want to elect. Commota 
plebs est, utique postquam sordidatum reum viderunt. Id. 
Ubique, anywhere, 1004. 

6. CUMQUE or CUNQUE, generalizes relativa: Quot- 
quot, how many soever, so many as, XXI, 3., takes a number 
of things in its whole extent, without farther determining it ; 
Quotcunque, as many as there may be, however many : Si 
leges duce, aut, quot quot erunt, conservari non possint. 
Cic. Magistratus, quotcunque senatus creverit populusve 
jusserit, tot sunto. Id. 

7. PE (Oscan for que), even, well, gives affirmative or 
confirmative power to a word: Quippe, Nempe, 860, 1016. 

8. EM directs attention to something really existing : Hem 
ih! ay, as interjection: Hem, quid istuc est! ut tu incedis ! 
Plaut. En, 384. — NEM points at something inasmuch as 
it is connected with something antecedent, hence at a cause 
or reason, as in nempe, 1016; in enim, 710. Ccesar Dumno- 
rigem retrahi imperat : si vim faciat neque pareat, interfci 



Pronominal Forms. XXIV. 43 

jubet. llle enim revocatus resistere ac se manu defenders 
cozpit. Cses., i. e. Caesar had good reason for it, for he, &c. 
— DEM designates an object as the same, in idem (is-dem), 
even he, the very same, 397; idemtidem (with inserted t), 
954; eodem, even thereto; eddem, even there, in precisely 
the same manner; indidem (inde), from the same place; 
tantundem, just as much, according to quantity ; totidem, ac- 
cording to number; quidem (quid - dem) , indeed, at least, 
signifies identity in a certain respect. — TEM points at 
equality of the sequel with reference to something preceding, 
in item (id -tern), 589 ; autem (av, or), 913. 

9. AM designates degree, in quam, how much, i. e. in 
what degree, 28 ; tarn, so much, in such a degree, 23. Quam 
therefore, gives a higher degree of uncertainty to indefinita ; 
hence they stand, on account of their negative sense, always 
in connexion with negations, or with questions of a negative 
character : Unquam, ever ; nunquam, never ; nequaquam, by 
no means, in no respect; neutiquam (ne-uti- quam), in no 
manner, not in the least: Ccesaris copia ne qua quam erant 
tantce, ut eis confideret. Cses. Indissolubiles vos quidem 
esse non potestis, neutiquam tamen dissolvemini. Cic. — 
PIAM (pe, 7), on the other hand, expresses a positive 
sense : Quisquam is one, if he exist anywhere, conditional, 
and in a negative meaning; Quispiam, one, who is some- 
where, unconditional, 858. Fieri nullo modo potest, ut quis- 
quam alterum plus diligat, quam se. Cic. Hereditas est 
pecunia, quce morte alicujus ad qu empiam pervenit jure. Id. 
So usquam, uspiam, somewhere: Iste, cui nullus esset us- 
quam consistendi locus, Romam se retulit. Cic. Sive est 
ilia lex scripta uspiam, sive nusquam. Id.; nuspiam does 
not appear in the Latin writers. — An? as interrogative, 76. 
Jam, 522, now, already, compares the moment of time, or 
degree of completion of a state arrived at, with the preceding ; 
Etiam, 397, a still higher degree. — NAM, 710, for, 
namely, adds to a preceding assertion a reason, an expla- 
nation, by which it becomes clearer, easier to be understood. 
An explanation of this kind is requisite also for the interroga- 
tives quisnam? quinam? who then? ecquisnam? ubinam? 
Crotoniatas opinio non fefellit. Nam Zeuxis quasivit ab 
eis, quasnam virgines formosas haberent? Cic. DAM, in 
quidam, a certain, points at one of the number of the qui, 
leaving uncertain which ; quoddam, is a certain thing ; quid- 
dam, taken in general, something certain: Mercator qui- 



44 Pronominal Forms. XXIV. 

dam fuit Syracusis senex. Plaut. Fuit quod dam tempus, 
quum in agris homines passim vagabantur. Cic In ista po- 
testate (tribunicia) inest quid dam mali. Id. Quid feceras 7 
— Paulum quid dam. Ter. With adjectives, quidam indi- 
cates a degree arbitrarily to be supposed: Te natura ex eel- 
sum quendam, et altum, et humana despicientem genuit. 
Cic, somewhat, that is, considerably, very. 

10. TIM designates a period of uncertain duration, in um- 
quam or unquam, ever, in the past or future : Isocrates pra- 
stat omnibus ; qui unquam orationes attigerunt. Cic. Cave 
posthac unquam istuc verbum ex te audiam. Ter. — NUM, 
now, the period from the point of the present, with reference 
to the past next preceding: TJrtica quoque num medetur vul- 
neribus. Plin., (rare); generally as interrogative, 76; and 
of time, nunc is more in use, 522. — DJJM, during, 378, 
points at a present duration of time, in nondum, not yet ; nul- 
lusdum, no one yet, and in imperatives: Marie dum. Plaut., 
only wait. Iteradum eadem ista mihi. Cic, only repeat. — 
TUM, then, 522, refers to a period in the past or future ; 
etiamtum, also then, also there : Initio reges diversi pars in- 
genium, alii corpus exercebant: etiamtum vita hominum 
sine cupiditate agitabatur, sua cuique satis placebant. Sail. 
Corresponding to this is the correlativum. — CUM or Quum, 
when, as, by which a state or condition is referred as cotem- 
porary w T ith that which is indicated by turn, tunc, or also as 
cause to an effect. As preposition, the cum signifies with, 
together, jointly, 298, a connexion, e. g. mecum, nobiscum, 
and thus in compounds : Conferre, carrying together; con- 
scius, knowing with another or others about a thing; com- 
primerc, compressing, pressing together. 

11. O, signifies an aim, see XX, 13. — DO, in quando 
(quom for quum -do), when, of an indefinite point of time in 
the past, present, or future, interrogative, relative, and in- 
definite, 853. 

12. DE, from, in inde, from thence ; unde, from whence ; 
and PER, through, in tantisper, as long as, of uninterrupted 
duration; they are prepositions.

belong according to their species to the fleet, are Classici ; 
if belonging to the same fleet, Nautici crew belonging to 
one vessel. These were taken from among the lowest citi- 
zens and freed slaves ; but the sailors, who as a corporation

slaves: Jussus e nauticis unus escendere in malum. Liv.

cat, sentit. Id.

Claustrum, every contrivance to keep something locked 
up, also turnpike, outer wall, frontier fortress : Effringi fo- 
res, revelli claustra. Cic. Claustris retinere feram. 
The ancients used a bolt instead of a lock. The bolt had a 
hole in the middle ; into this, the opening person put, through 
the key-hole, an iron, with which the bolt was lifted ; in lock- 1 
ing a door, this iron was taken out with the key [clavis). 
Pessulus is the small bolt, turning downward, and which is 
pulled up ; the cross-bolt, going into the wall, and hence 
must be pulled back, was Repagulum, inasmuch as it

in relation to something else : Decere est quasi aptum esse

decorousness, in as far as it is perceived, appears : in liabitu 
ac vultu. Decorum, that which is befitting, proper for the 
well-behaving, and that by which man appears in his dignity 
as a reasonable being: Id decorum volunt esse, quod ita

ness, obtaining property from another, defrauding: Frau- 
dare creditores. Cic. Fallere, deceiving, leading another

only, signifies that the preceding demonstrative (nunc, post, 
turn, igitur, is, ibi) must be taken in the highest degree of its 
meaning: Nunc demum rescribo his Uteris, quas mihi mi~ 
sisti. Cic. Idem velle atque idem nolle, ea demum firma 
amicitia est. Sail. Denique (for demumque), at length, 
only, attaches the idea which has been strengthened by de- 
mum to that which precedes : Turn denique homines nostra 
intelligimus bona, quum quae in potestate habuimus, ea amisi- 
mus. Plaut., then and then only. Hence in enumerations, 
when at the end of the series the highest or lowest or some-

mode, entirely so, as it existed before ; Iterum, again, des- 
ignates the mode, quite so, as it was before ; Rursum, 
Rursus, again, an additional time, of the kind, of mere

diffarreatio, quia fiebat farreo libo adhibito. Festus. 
But, since a marriage concluded by the confarreatio was to

nrize for exertions, honorable reward for merit : Ccesar his> 
qui primi murum adscendissent, p rami a proposuit. Cses. —

tamen hoc tempore breviter te commonendum putavi. Id. — 
b. or the declaration that the taking place of that condition is 
allowed to rest on its own merits, is given with Licet, may 
it be, be it so ; the mode is designated by Ut, supposed ;

notion by Quamvis, how much soever, though ever so 
much, although; and making the notion general by Quam- 
quam, how much so ever, although; TJtut, howsoever, in

sues, ut canes. Cic. Catulus, a young one of cats, dogs, 
foxes, monkeys, hogs, stags, and other animals (it comprises, 
therefore, more than the English whelp does at present,

oblita. Virg. Catellus, signifies a puppy only. Tantil-

vultu, qua c o nfi dentia dicant ; turn intelligetis, qua reli- 
gione dicant. Cic. 

447. Fieri, Evadere. Fieri (one of the most sensible 
lacks of the English idiom is, that it has no word which ex- 
presses that signification of fieri which in German is given 
by werden, a want which makes itself continually felt, and 
actually forces the writer to leave certain shades unsaid) ; 
beginning to be, growing, continuing to be, happening ; Eva- 
dere, coming about, to pass, at last, turning out thus or other- 
wise : Ego sum ille Amphitruo, idem Mercurius qui fit, 
quando commodum est. Plaut. Fit, quod futurum dixi. Id. 
Albucius perfectus Epicureus evaserat. Cic. 

448. Figura, Forma, Species ; Tropus ; Figurare, For- 
mare, Conformare. The figure of a thing is called Figu- 
ra, if it represents something general, and is proper for a 
certain end only; Forma, if it represents a definite object, 
and, conformably to the letter, its parts stand in the proper 
proportions to one another; Species, if the observer repre- 
sents it to himself, as it appears to him, see 424, hence the 
appearance, the look: Himera, in muliebrem figuram ha- 
bitumque formata ex oppidi nomine etfluminis. Cic. Natura 
figuram corporis habilem et aptam ingenio humano dedit. 
Id. Artifex quum faceret Jovis for mam aut Minervce, non 
ex aliquo similitudinem ducebat. Id. TJri sunt specie et 
colore et figura tauri. Cces. Natura for mam, corporis 
nostri, reliquamque figuram, in qua esset species honesta, 
earn posuit in promtu. Cic. For mam, those parts which 
give beauty to the body; figuram, those which are neces- 
sary for its destination; species, the sight of which is not 
offensive. — Figura, in rhetoric, every modification of ex- 
pression by which the same is beautified, and becomes capa- 
ble of producing a more lively impression or notion connected 
with direct pleasure, e. g. prosopopoeia : Crudelitatis mater 
est avaritia, et pater furor ; the antitheton : Domus deer at ? 
At habebas. Pecunia super abatl At egebas. Tropus, 
the more vivid representation of an idea under the image of 
something similar or well-known, as in the metonymy, synec- 
doche, and metaphor; the trope. — Figurare, shaping, 
forming something according to its destiny : Bourn ierga non 
ad onus accipiendum figurata. Cic. Form are, fashion- 
ing, giving to a substance that form in which it represents a 
certain object with the same proportions of its parts : E Pario 
formatum marmore signum. Ovid. Materiam fingit et 



449. Fingere. 450. Finis. 211

449. Fingere, Con — Effingere, Conflare ; Fictor, 
Plastes ; Figularis, Fictilis ; Fictus, Commenticius, SlM- 
ULATUS. Fingere, fashioning, forming, causing a rude sub- 
stance to assume a certain form ; it precedes the figurare and 
formare, see 448; Confingere, forming that things fit to- 
gether, to one another ; Effing e r e, forming after an original ; 
Conflare, melting metals together: Aves fin gun t nidos ; 
fingere aliquid e cera. Cic. Apes favos confingunt 
et ceras. Plin. Icarus bis conatus erat casus effingere in 
auro. Virg. Augustus argenteas statuas, olim sibi positas, 
conflavit omnes. Suet. — Fictor, the fashioner, he who 
fashions some substance, e. g. wax, clay, wood, stone, and 
the like, into a figure, an image, &c. ; Plastes, the fash- 
ioner of soft substance, as wax, clay ; yet for this, fictor is 
more common : Faber quum quid cedificaturus est, materia 
utitur ea, qua sit. parata : fictor que item cera. Cic. — 
Figularis, proper for the potter (figulus), e. g. rota, creta ; 
Fictilis, earthen, made of clay: Vasa fictilia. — If 
fingere takes as substance something unreal, merely im- 
agined, it signifies treating a fiction poetically (German er- 
dichten) ; the inventing of this subject, the thinking it out, is 
expressed by Comminisci ; hence Fictus, invented, ficti- 
tious, put on by way of hypocrisy (German erheuchelt) : Pro 
non incauto, fictum astutumque vocamus. Hor. Commen- 
ticius, invented by way of fiction, for pleasure or entertain- 
ment, e. g. crimen; ficta et commenticia fabula. Cic.

trot, ut per fines suos Helvetios ire patiantur. Caes. Mo-

other side: Certos mihi fines terminosque constituam, 
extra quos egredi non possim. Cic. Limes, a cross- way, 
cross-path, boundary, limits, the old mere, the strip of un-

campnm fas erat. Virg. Met a, a conically formed hay- 
stack, the cone at the end of the Roman circus, and, in gen- 
eral, the aim, term, where we turn again : Famum siccatum

yond which something shall not go: Mare terras termin at 
omnes. Lucret. Bellum finire, bringing to an end; Ter-

tinue any longer. Definire, showing, indicating accurately 
the limits, how far a thing extends and no further, or how far 
it is to extend : Fundi extremam partem olece directo or dine 
definiunt. Cic, they indicate the limits of the land from 
within outward; — terminant, they make the limit with 
regard to the things without, surrounding land. Deter mi-

bounds, boundaries: Yates scipione determinavit templi

cogit. Lucret. Diuturno morbo tabescere. Cic. — Flac- 
cidus, withered, slack, limber, e. g. folium ; Marcidus, 
friable, brittle (this is the nearest, I believe, that our language 
can approach, though marcidus expresses that lack of con- 
sistency and solidity which we observe in wood with dry rot, 
or the ice of sea water, while brittle would indicate the ease 
with which glass can be broken), e. g. asseres obruti vetus- 
tate. Vitruv. Caper flaccidis et praigravantibus auribus.

Plaut Spirare, breathing, blowing, of the motions of the 
atmosphere, every perceptible draft of air : Nee Zephyros 
audis spirare secundos? Virg. Hal are, a soft streaming

expressed by flare : Be gelidis halabat vallibus aura. 
Ovid.

(rumpere), a piece torn off from a whole: Frustum offce 
cadit ex pulli ore, quum pascitur. Cic. Viscera in frusta 
secant. Virg. Segmentum (secare), a piece cut off, a seg- 
ment ; this is even on the side of the cut, and thus may be 
fitted to the whole again, which the frustum cannot : Plu- 
ra sunt segmenta mundi, qua nostri circulos appellavere. 
Plin. Quid de veste loquar? nee vos, segmenta, requi- 
ro. Ovid. 

472. Frenum, Lupi, Lupata, Capistrum ; Habena.

tionally : L. Piso tanta virtute atque integritate fait, ut solus

475. Frustra, Incassum, Nequidquam, Gratis, Gra-

sending forth rays : Radiantis imagine lance. Virg. Mi- 
care, of rays suddenly darting forth and vanishing: Qualis 
gemma mi cat. Virg. Mi cat ignibus atlier. Id., hence of 
similar movements: Aures micantes pavidis eqais. Plin. 
— (The reader will have observed, that the English language 
is peculiarly destitute of words designating with nicety either 
the degree, effect, or movement of light. Indeed, there are 
yet many other notions respecting light to be expressed, and 
are actually expressed by other languages, for which we have 
no words in English. For the varieties of sound, the English 
seems peculiarly rich. May not the reason be, that light is not 
a very prominent ingredient in the English sky, but that the 
sea-girt isle has the greatest variety of sounds daily sounding 
up to her shore ? Be that as it may, the remark applios to

the skies which lasts longer and is without thunder ; also the 
flash of lightning merely as fiery phenomenon ; Fulgur a- 
tio, the same, as act; Fulmen, the flash of lightning with 
brilliant light and annihilating power : Prospera Juppiter his 
dextris fulgoribus edit. Enn. Stella solis fulg ore 
obumbrantur. Senec. Credas et rapidum Mtnao fulgur 
ab igne jaci. Ovid. Si in nube flatus out vapor erumpit ar- 
dens, fulmina oriuntur ; si longiore tractu nititur, ful-

above) : Fundus dicitur ager, quod planus sit ad similitu-

in garrulus, chattering, the Scottish clabbering, the German

lus est. Hor. Loquax, loving or ready to speak, also

higher degree, merry, frolicsome, used of the effects of joy, 
which show themselves in exciting our spirits, and the exter- 
nal manifestation of this effect, happy, as used in this sense :

Catilinam alacrem atque latum. Id. 

487. Generalis, Universalis. Generalis, general, 
with reference to the kind (genus) ; generalis, therefore, is 
that which is constituted like all the species of the same 
genus; Universalis, common, referring to a whole, so 
constituted, or of such a character, as all individuals which 
belong to a whole (universum) must be, are: Generale 
quoddam decorum intelligimus, quod, in omni honestate versa- 
tur. Cic. In constitutionibus principum nihil inveniebam aut 
proprium, aut universale, quod ad Bithynos ferretur. 
Plin. 

488. Genius, Lares, Penates ; Genialis, Genitalis, 
Genitivus. Genius, the protecting or directing, influenc- 
ing spirit which presides over human nature, and watches 
over the procreation, birth, and life of a human being, and 
even after death continues to act protectingly in the Lar ; 
hence the constant endeavour to keep him well-disposed, and 
to reconcile him in misfortune which had befallen the indi- 
vidual : Scit Genius, natale comes qui temper at astrum, 






228 489. Gens. 

natures deus humance. Hor. Suum genium defraudare. 
Ter., not to allow one's self any comfort, denying one's self 
the necessary things. Lares, house and family gods of the 
Romans, whose little images stood upon the hearth, sacred to 
them, and under which the families paid honor to their de- 
parted forefathers. There were likewise public Lares, as 
patrons of cities, streets, and peasants: Ego Lar sum Fa- 
miliaris, ex hac familia, unde exeuntem me adspexistis. hanc 
domum jam multos annos est quum possideo. Plaut. Parvo 
sub I are pauperum camce. Hor., the house itself. Penates 
(compare Penes, 22.), private deities, of which every family 
chose for patrons, while the Lares were only worshipped 
men ; they were also worshipped as publici in the Atrium or 
Impluvium (Jupiter, Juno, Minerva, Vesta), on the Capitoli- 
um, and from them were expected blessing, nourishment, 
prosperity : Dii patrii ac penates, qui huic urbi atque huic 
imperio prcesidetis. Cic. Exterminabit cives Romanos edicto 
consul a suis penatibus? Id., out of their houses. — Ge- 
nial is, constituted agreeably or conformably to the Genius, 
as the giver of joy and all comfort, festival-like, e. g. lectus, 
the marriage bed: Invitat genialis hiems, curasque resol- 
vit. Virg., the time when the farmer rests and enjoys comfort. 
Genitalis, that which has the capacity of procreation or 
generation: Quatuor genitalia corpora mundus continet. 
Ovid. Elements. Dies genitalis. Tac, birthday, inas- 
much as from its constellation the astrologer or reader of 
nativity divines the future fate of an individual; natal is 
birthday, inasmuch as it is the day on which he was born. 
Genitivus, that which has remained ever since the birth, 
that which we brought with us into the world : Augustus cor 
pore traditur maculoso, dispersis per pectus atque alvum 
genitivis notis. Suet., moles. (Innate, when applied to 
inborn ideas, must be given by innatus ; genitivus is only 
that which we have from our generation, the procreation of 
the individual.) 

489. Gens, Familia, Genus, Stirps, Prosapia ; Ge 
nus, Natio, Populus ; Gentilis, Gentilicius, Genticus. 
Gens, a clan or race, as a multitude of persons who are able 
to prove their descent, through all possible degrees of consan- 
guinity, to the same progenitor (geuitor) ; Familia, 372, 
that branch of the gens who belong, as nearest kinsmen (re- 
lations by consanguinity), to a descendant of such a genitor, 
in direct line. Those who belonged to one gens had the 



489. Gens. 229 

common name of the genitor (nomen) ; those that belong to 
the same familia, have in addition the name of the family 
father (cognomen). Thus the Gens Cornelia, descending

Possidere, possessing, inasmuch as we alone have the 
thing, may freely use it, and freely dispose of it ; Tenere,

tos hausit flamma, gurges. Liv., devouring in mass. Sor- 
bere, drawing in a liquid, not in large draughts, but with 
half-closed lips, gradually, and with pleasure. I believe the

sipping and drawing (in German sclilurferi) : Animalia, qui- 
bus continui denies, sorb en t, ut equi, boves. Plin. Medicus 
obiit, dum mulsi potionem haurit; alius, quum mulsum bi-

has saved, especially a son as soldier (castrense), by other 
occupations or pursuits {quasi castrense^), by paternal grants 
or allowances (profecticium), by inheritance on the maternal 
side {adventicium), or what a slave saves with the permission 
of the master : Servi cupiditate peculii nullum conditionem 
recusant durissimce servitutis. Cic. — He reditatem cer- 
nere, viewing the inheritance, examining it, meant, if the 
heir by testament (neither son nor slave of the testator), de-

getting crevices from dryness, &c. : Naves rimis fatis- 
cunt. Virg.

Istic. By Hie, this, the speaker points at an object; by 
Hi c, here, at a condition near, locally and in mind ; by Il- 
le, that, and Illic, there, he points at the opposite, more 
remote object ; hence Hi c is used, also, for present, and that 
which is at present ; Ille, famous, renowned by the tradition, 
report, &c, which tells of remote things, speaking of some- 
thing which everybody knows, and hence may be pointed at 
at once: Tu si hie sis, aliter censeas. Ter., this one here, 
i. e. on the spot where he stands, pointing at himself. Negli- 
genter scribimus adversaria ; diligenter conficimus tabulas. 
Hcec delentur statim ; ilia servantur sancte. Cic. Is, he, 
that one, the one, points, for the benefit of the addressed per- 
son, at an object only as known, already mentioned; Iste, 
that one there, as one to whom he ought to direct now his 
particular attention : Fuit olim hinc quidam mercator ; navem 
is fregit apud Andrum insulam: is obiit mortem. Ter. At 
i s t o s rastros tamen inter ea adpone, ne labor a. Id. Si ami- 
citiam adfructum nostrum refer emus, non erit ista amicitia,

illic veniunt felicius uvce, arbor ei fetus alibi. Virg. Ibi 
(is, in the ancient dative form), there, even there, at the spot : 
Demaratus fugit Tarquinios Corintho, et ibi fortunas suas 
constituit. Cic. Inibi, in the place, in the thing itself, ex- 
pressing in a stronger way its existence : Hannibalem Capua 
corrupit, et superbia nata inibi esse hcec videtur. Cic, even 
there. Ibidem, at the same spot: Si Thessalonicce erit 
causa, aut ibidem opperiar, aut me ad te confer am. Cic 
Istic, there, at that place, where the addressed person is

Hon os (Ho n or only from the third century; originally

which we manifest our esteem and approbation to a person 
on account of his worth or merit : Ho nos est premium vir- 
tutis, judicio studioque civium delatum ad aliquem. Cic. ; 
hence, a public office, connected with honor and authority, 
generally in the plural. Honor es, places of honor, which, 
in Rome, were without salary: Hie ipse honos, delatus ad 
me, testis est innocentia mea. Liv. Munus, 373, an office, 
inasmuch as it is connected with burden and expense, without

minding on occasion, also urgently : Leo contexit asinum 
frutice et admonuit simul, ut insueta voce terreret feras.

asserts, maintains, as a formula of citing the assertion of 
another, which we cite by way of narration, and as contradis-

edictum atque omnia deer eta vendiderit? Cic. — Judicium 
dare, reddere, granting and instituting a legal inquiry,

reference to its contents; Rogatio, as bill directed to the 
comitiai of the assembled people, whether they approve of it

For the bill the vote was expressed by the two letters U. R. 
(uti rogas) on a tablet ; against it, by A. (antiquo s. antiqua 
probo), hence the expressions, Legem rogare, asking the 
people on account of a \slw ; ferre, laying it before them 
(bringing in a bill) ; abrogare, abrogating a law; Legem 
s. de lege derogare, also exrogare, partially abrogat- 
ing, altering; obrogare, making a law invalid by a new

main with things as it has been, i. e. rejecting the bill; ju- 
bere, ordaining the senate to confirm or approve of the de- 
"cree of the people, so that the law may have universally 
binding power. Considered as decree of the people, the law 
was called Populiscitum, if the centuries of the whole

secrating part of it to the gods ; for them a little wine was 
first poured on the table, and at sacrifices, first on the head

pieces {libatio secunda) : Et summas carpens media inter 
cornua setas, ignibus imponit sacris, libamina prima, Virg.

mitted man was called Libertus, as such, e. g. Phadrus, 
Augusti libertus ; but in reference to their present condi- 
tion, Libertinus, and their children Ingenui. Under the 
emperors, however, the Liberti became perfect freemen or 
Ingenui, see Suet. Claud. 24. Trebonius heredem fecit

eral of a dutiful business: Negotium magistratibus est 
datum, ut currarent, ut sine vi mihi cedijicare liceret. Cic. 
Res, 190, every subject of which we can rei, that is, every 
thing which can be supposed to exist (reor is connected with 
the German reden, to speak, for speaking and thinking or 
judging coincide originally) ; the thing, as generic term for 
something, the more definite determination of which is to be 
known from its accompaniments, e. g. divina, militaris : Non 
re ductus es, sed opinione. Cic. Rem agere, transacting, 
attending to an affair, which touches the interest of some one ; 
Negotium agere, attending to an affair, business, which

721. Nemo. 724. Nomen. 






[The deficiency in the English language, that we have but 
one word, thing, for the German Ding and Sache, renders it 
always difficult for one who has not entered entirely into the 
spirit of Latin to comprehend the whole and full meaning of 
res ; because, though the Latin has, like the English, but one 
word, res signifies infinitely more than the English term 
thing. 1 

721. Nemo, Nullus. Nemo, nobody, no one, opp. some- 
body, some one, excludes every person ; Nullus, none, opp. 
one, excludes every individual of a certain kind : Hominem

722. Neque 5. Nec, Et non, Ac non. Neque, or Nee, 
and not, connects, with the antecedent, an entire sentence 
taken negatively; Et non, Ac non, and not, connects a 
sentence in which a single notion is contradistinguished to the 
antecedent : Papiriumferunt cibi vinique capacissimum, nec 
cum ullo asperiorem fuisse militiam. Liv. Ea scripsi ad te, 
quce et saluti tuce conducere arbitrarer, et non alien a esse 
ducerem a dignitate. Cic.

aliquid, quod aut ex nihilo oriatur, aut in nihilum su-

so, designates equality of mode of action : Hcec dicta nihilo 
mihi esse videntur secius, quam somnia. Plaut. Nihilo 
segnius, nothing slower, as lively as : Oppidani, insolita re 
perculsi, nihilo segnius bellum par are. Sail. Nihilo

articulated sounds, which designates something thought, every 
part of speech; otherwise, Verbum designates a verb, a

words in connexion, as we use, likewise, icords : Verbum

Agnomen, a surname given for some distinguished action,

tion of that which is thought, intended, contradistinguishes 
that which ought to be from that which ought not to be ; 
Haud, more correctly Haut, perhaps not, probably not, 
better not, entirely not, is a condition of negation, which 
leaves it to option in which sense it may be taken ; hence its 
ironical use, and before negative compounds, e. g. haud 
ignotce belli artes : Necesse est, id aut esse, aut non esse.

runt. Nep., no honey; not mel nullum. Impius ne audeto

an action up to its completion, e. g. peragere, per or are ; some- 
times the highest degree of perfection, as our through and 
through, throughout, e. g. pervelle, pernegare ; sometimes to 
the carrying out of an action until the entire destruction of its 
object, e. g. perdere, perimere, perjidus. Trans retains its 
meaning unchanged, and shows it by orthography ; but, if its 
own meaning unites with the radical signification of the verb 
in such a manner that a new idea is produced, the sounds of 
this particle likewise are fused with the verb ; hence we have 
only transcurro, transgredior, generally also, transmitto, 
transveho ; but trado, trano, trajicio, and, with Cicero now 
and then, tramitto,traveho,traverto.

853. Quando, Quum ; Quandoque, Quandocunque. 
Quando, token once, designates an indefinite point of time 
in the past or future, and is used interrogatively, indefinite, 
and relative as a particle indicative of time as well as cause : 
Quando me ista cogitasse arbitramini ? Cic. Num quan- 
do vides aliquem de C atone gloriari? Id., perhaps, perhaps 
upon a time. Non intelligitur, quando obrepat senectus. 
Id., when. Quando non potest fieri, quod vis, id velis, 
quod possit. Ter., i. e. since, as cause originating from casual 
circumstances. Quum, ancient Quom, when, designates 
with its predicate a real fact as secondary circumstance of a 
definite time, which may be simple (when, at the time that), 
or repeated (so often as), and is only used relative as indica- 
tion of the time of another occurrence, or as causative parti- 
cle for then : Zenonem, quum Athenis ess em, audiebam 
frequenter. Cic. Verres quum rosam viderat, tunc in- 
cipere ver arbitrabatur. Id., as often as. Quid verba audiam, 
quum facta videaml Id., since. — Quandoque, stands in 
distributive sense relative for whenever, and indefinite for each 
time whenever ; Quandocunque, is used in a generalizing 
sense, relative for whenever, may that be at any time, and in- 
definite, sometime, whenever, be this whenever it may ; in 
Quandoque, we leave to the accident, to casual occurrence, 
each imagined point of time separate; in Quandocunque, 
all points of time are taken together, and we leave to casualty 
the selection of one of these: Indignor, quandoque bonus 
dormitat Homerus. Hor. Ego ibi commorabor, quoad ille 
quandoque veniat. Cic, whenever, some time or other. 
Hoslibus, quandocunque se moverint, ab ter go erimus.

acorns with short pedicles, and broad leaves with long pedi- 
cles ; according to others, the oak with narrower leaves and

sweet acorns attached close to the branch : Civica iligna pri*

as state of things : Qui questus, qui mceror digitus inveniri 
in calamitate tanta potest 1 Cic. (Querela, complaint, ac- 
cording to its external condition, inasmuch as words, tone, and 
expression have a peculiar character in proffering it : Cycni 
quum tollant lugubri voce querelam. Lucret. Quid intuis 
Uteris fuit 'prater querelam temporwn? Cic. Queri- 
mo nia, the complaint of itself (in abstracto), as utterance of 
words of a certain meaning : Versibus impariter junctis que-

painful sensations and affliction by sounds of complaint and 
words ; it is the expression considered of itself ; the act of

as individual are of no importance to the matter. Without 
reference to the kind, is Quisquam, one, if he exist any- 
where, relative and in the negative sense ; Quispiam, in a 
positive sense, one who exists somewhere, opp. nemo, nihil ;

res nostros adhibebatur peritus, nunc quilibet. Cic. Ves- 
trum quivis formidat malum. Plaut. Spe tu, quicunque 
casus est futurus, car ere non debes. Cic. Sibi quisque 
ruri metit. Plaut. Signiferi orbis una qua que pars alia

858. Quies. 859. Quin. 367

another, according to a merely seeming similitude ; Si cut i, 
as, like, refers to a fact ; Veluti, similar to, such as, gives an 
instance ; Tamquam, as much, as well as, according to de- 
gree, by pointing at an equal effect in something similar; 
Ceu, as, as if, compares similar things in general, but it is 
used only with poets and later writers : Quasi decern Jisci. 
Cic, about. Fuit olim, quasi ego sum, senex. Plaut. Tu, 
quasi concessum sit, ita deliberas. Cic, as if. Gloria vir-

stronger negation, and TJt non, that not, indicating an effect 
or consequence : In condone adest nemo, quin vitia in di- 
cente videat. Cic. Nihil abest, quin sim miserrimus. Id.

mini ? Sail., how not? i. e. well, don't you wake ? Quid hie

Quin jam habeo. Id., why, I have it already. Cur non? 
302. 

860. Quippe, Utpote. Quippe, of course, certainly, 
confirms in ceding; Utpote (with qui and quum), as, since,

dito. Cic. Pater meus puerulo me, utpote non amplius no- 
vem annos nato, in Hispaniam profectus est. Nep.

several equal parts ? or, of how many one in this whole num- 
ber? (in German, der je wie vielste?) distributive, i. e. how 
few! Hora quota est? Hor. Quotusquisque disertus 
est ? Cic. To each man in a company the question quotus 
would apply ; if, after a mutiny, it had been decreed that

province. There were other members still of these societies,

mon gain and loss. When any sort of revenue is farmed out, 
the farmer pays a fixed sum to government, for which the 
revenue is signed over to him-. It is still done in some Euro-

as the richest ; the other citizens, who served on foot in the 
field, were, according to their property, divided into five 
classes, these again into centuries, so that the whole people, 
including those who had no property at all, and who formed 
but one century, consisted of one hundred and ninety-three 
centuries, each one with one vote in elections of magistrates, 
the adoption of proposals for laws, and other chief political 
measures ; but the knights with the first class were stronger 
than the rest together, because they were divided into a ma-
